Aquablation happens in two phases: a personalized map of your prostate, then a robotic waterjet that follows that map with sub-millimeter precision.
Three steps to lasting relief
01
Precision Surgical Planning
Using real-time ultrasound imaging, Dr. Tallman maps your prostate in three dimensions. He draws an exact boundary for tissue removal and marks what must be preserved: the bladder neck, sphincter, and neurovascular bundles.
02
Robotic Waterjet Resection
A robotic arm executes the surgical plan with sub-millimeter precision, using a high-velocity, heat-free water jet to resect the targeted prostate tissue. No lasers. No heat. No burning. Just water and robotics working together at machine precision.
03
Rapid Recovery & Results
Most men go home the same day or the next morning. As the treated area heals, urine flows freely from bladder through a more open prostate. Clinical studies show significant, durable symptom improvement with sexual function intact.
Your recovery, step by step
Procedure day
Under general anesthesia
Mapping and treatment both happen while you're asleep. The waterjet phase itself typically takes just a few minutes.
That night
Home within 24 hours
Most men go home the same day or the next morning with a temporary catheter while the urethra begins to heal.
First 1 to 2 weeks
Mild, manageable discomfort
Some burning during urination is normal and handled with standard pain medication. Most resume normal activities within days.
Weeks to months
Flow keeps improving
As the treated area heals, urine flows freely through a more open prostate. Symptom improvement is significant and durable.
Recovery varies by patient. Dr. Tallman will walk you through your personal plan at consultation.
